Do you mean the scalability for capacity on the update server side? Although
BIND might not be able to scale this out of the box, the example has only been
given in the draft to have a hands-on way for ppl to try this draft.

In reality it should not be a major issue to receive those DNS updates and
process them (with or without signatures) - similar efforts are currently made
for each request to change NS-sets on the parent (admittedly those might happen
less frequent).

The same way a parent is currently providing a domain owner with credentials for
their management interfaces. If a domain owner has specific requirements in
terms of security on that channel it is something where registrars can offer
whatever their customers demand.
